Free Line

Twelve plugins, free. Not demos, not time limited, not cut down versions of something bigger - these are the tools themselves. They are built the way the rest of the line is built: one house style, the same preset browser, the same A/B and undo, and every claim on a product page measured rather than asserted. The four analysers leave your audio alone: ARMETER's measuring block takes the buffer as a const reference, so touching it would not compile, and its tests prove the output is bit identical to the input at seven block sizes. Of the three utilities, ARUTIL at unity and ARDITHER at OFF pass the input through sample for sample; ARGEN is a generator and makes its own signal. ARGATE Gate and downward expander. RANGE is the point: below the threshold it does not mute, it reduces by a fixed amount. ARTS Transient shaper. Attack and sustain come from pairs of envelope followers, and the band selector lets the detector listen to only the part of the spectrum you care about. ARSAT Saturation with four curves, eight times oversampled. The dry path is delayed to match, so a parallel mix stays phase aligned. ARTONE Three band tone control on a true crossover, flat to 0.00 dB at unity, with two split points you drag in the display. ARWIDTH Stereo width on a mid/side encode, with MONO BELOW so the bottom end stays where it belongs. ARMETER Loudness meter: momentary, short term, integrated, range and true peak, to the broadcast standard. The output is the input, sample for sample. ARSPEC Spectrum analyser, 32768 points, with a peak-hold trace, tilt, a mid/side view and correlation. The audio passes through untouched. ARSCOPE Triggered oscilloscope, goniometer and ten seconds of correlation history. The audio passes through untouched. ARTUNER Chromatic tuner with a strobe display, alternate tunings and an adjustable reference pitch. The audio passes through untouched. ARGEN Calibrated test signal generator: sine, log sweep, white and pink noise, and a one-sample impulse. ARUTIL Gain, polarity, channel routing and a DC filter. At unity the output is the input, sample for sample. ARDITHER Bit depth reduction with TPDF or noise-shaped dither. At OFF the audio is untouched. Every plugin ships as Audio Unit and VST3 on macOS (universal, Apple Silicon and Intel) and as VST3 on Windows, each with its own illustrated user guide and a factory preset bank.
